Real Madrid could tempt Chelsea into selling Eden Hazard during the January window by offering Gareth Bale in return.
According to OK Diario’s Eduardo Inda, the Spanish giants are planning for the possibility of using the Welshman as part of the deal.
Speaking on El Chiringuito de Jugones, Inda explained Real Madrid’s stance on a January move for the Belgian superstar.
Real Madrid is considering making a trade: Bale, Chelsea and Hazard, Real Madrid.
Hazard himself has played down the chances of making a January move away from Chelsea, but Real Madrid are clearly refusing to give up in their pursuit.
Bale has long been linked with a move back to the Premier League after a mixed time in Spain.
While Madrid have enjoyed various success during his time there, he has failed to truly settle and nail down a regular place in the Madrid side, as a result of injuries, coupled with the performances of the likes of Isco and Marco Asensio.
Chelsea maintain their desire to keep hold of the player as the two parties try to reach some form of agreement in talks for a new deal.
